Set up your rental in seconds. No account, no email, nothing to sign into.
Guided prompts for walls, floors, ceilings, windows, under sinks, inside appliances, meter readings, keys count and smoke alarms. Rate each item Good, Fair, Poor or Damaged and add notes.

This is the feature that wins disputes. On move-out day, the camera shows a faint ghost of your original move-in photo right on screen, so you line up the exact same angle.
